Yes, being Catholic is one of the requirements.
Any baptized male Catholic can be elected Pope. Although the chances of a non-cardinal being elected is very small.
If the person elected is not yet a bishop, then he is ordained a bishop before accepting the office of the Papacy.
With love in Christ.

If by catholic, you meant the word per se, then I think not. However if by catholic, you meant Roman Catholic, then yes he is (well at least he is a "proven" follower of the sect, otherwise he wouldn't be a pope).

Yes.
He is head of the Catholic church, or as some say, God's representative on Earth..

No. He's a left wing commune dweller with buddhist leanings.
